Barboza (19-5) is coming off a decision loss to newly crowned lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in his last outing. A win over Lee would put him right back in the mix at the top of the congested 155-pound division.

Lee (16-2) had a five-fight winning streak snapped in his last outing when he lost to Tony Ferguson at UFC 216 for the interim lightweight championship. The brash 25-year-old plans to start a new streak on Saturday and get back into title contention with a win over Barboza in Atlantic City, N.J.
